There comes a point in a project where things start to look real. I think we’ve hit that in our Air Quality monitoring project. At the Connected Humber hardware group this evening Brian gave out some populated versions of the sensor circuit board he’s designed and had made. Rather than making all the individual connections by hand we now have a beautiful little board that takes our processor, some power supply and switching circuitry and sensor connections.

It’s very pretty. The next step is to marry it up with our housing designs and start putting sensors into the hands of our waiting test users.
